In celebration of the 100th birth anniversary of Finnish designer Tapio Wirkkala (1915-1985), Iittala has relaunched a limited series of these mouth-blown bottles, initially in production between 1959 and 1968. The series is numbered from 1 to 2015 with an engraving to mark the centenary and will only be available in 2015. The bottles come in two sizes and four different colours: moss green, copper brown, intense turquoise and timeless grey.
So beautiful as an interior design element, but works just as well as a carafe or vase. Available here.

I can also provide editorial and visual content on a freelance basis, consulting on sourcing in the Nordic countries, and much more. If you would like to work with me in any of these areas, receive a media kit, or if you have other creative ideas for a collaboration, please send me an email at annasofiag@yahoo.fr!

Beautiful floorboards, natural light wood, an ochre yellow couch designed by Andreas Engesvik, Verner Panton's wire cube tables, a great looking Danish daybed, Alvar Aalto's table and chairs... and an overall soft and soothing atmosphère. What's there not to like? Styled by Emma Persson Lagerberg, one of my favourite stylists (I still feel so inspired by her own flat that I published here) and photographed by Petra Bindel.

You might not be familiar with the name ELFA, but I'm quite sure you've seen their products many times already. Elfa was founded in 1948 by Arne Lydmar, and as most Swedes, I have practically grown up with their smart and flexible storage. Today Elfa has retailers in more than 25 countries and offers a wide range of quality storage solutions for any space and need.

I'm very happy to let you know that I have teamed up with Elfa France to first of all show you how to transform chaos into order with Elfa's products. Secondly, we have put together an amazing Instagram contest for next Sunday which you don't want to miss, I promise! (open to mainland France only).

I'm a big fan of Elfa's shelving system because it corresponds to what I'm looking for: simple, flexible and timeless quality design, a product that I never grow tired of, regardless of trends and my own changing taste.

With this system you can easily build a storage that fits perfectly with the available space and your needs. Another great thing is that you only need to drill holes for the top track which supports the hang standards. Then just click shelves, drawers and more into place. You can also mount the wallbands directly on the wall, which is ideal for sloping ceilings for example.

No space is too small! With the new 45 cm wide solutions you can create a functional storage anywhere in the house. Choose between the Classic range in steel or the more refined Décor with articles in solid wood (birch, walnut or white).

Elfa's range can be divided into three categories: a drawer system, a shelving system and made to measure sliding doors. All three can be combined and customized in order to suit your specific needs.

Above are a few examples of how you can use Elfa's products in the kitchen, whether you create a complete storage solution with sliding doors or go for a smaller wall storage with shelves, boxes and hooks.

All parents know that super flexible storage is essential in a kids room. Also, I think this little drawing table is adorable. Easy to build with two drawer frames, a shelf and a magazine rack to hold the drawing paper.

And another one: Urban Moods - Trendy but classic.
You can see all mood boards here, as well as how to play with colours and surfaces on the sliding doors to make them reflect your style and personality.

The advantage with books about interior design is that even if you don't understand the language in which the book is written, inspiring pictures tend to speak for themselves. So here comes a selection of six recent books to discover, some in English and others in French, Swedish or German, including a little revelation regarding the last book here below... :)

Feel free to leave a comment if you have already seen and liked any of these! Or if you wish to recommend any other recently published books on interior design?

I've always been a huge fan of maps and globes, so when Mapiful contacted me to create my own map poster out of a favourite place or city I got super excited. Should I pick one of the many places where I've lived, Adelaide perhaps... or rather a city that I love returning to, Barcelona... or maybe somewhere I've never been but dream of visiting, like San Francisco..? In the end, I actually didn't manage to select only one place but had to pick two...

First I decided to go for Hudiksvall, the town in Sweden where I was born, where my parents both come from and where the majority of my family lives. Although I actually didn't grow up there, it's still the place I always return to and where my roots are.

Secondly, I couldn't resist making myself a map of Paris too. I've lived in and around this city for the last 25 years, so this is clearly where I feel at home. Also, besides the emotional aspect, prints of Paris always look stylish so I knew that a Paris map would be a nice addition to the wall above my couch.

Try it out yourself - just click here and select that special place that makes your heart skip a beat (or the heart of someone close to you) Then customize your map, adjust the details, and hop, your unique poster will be delivered to your door step within a few days.

On top of that, Mapiful offers 10$ off for all of La Maison d'Anna G.'s readers until Oct 28th! Just enter the code ANNAG at the checkout. The perfect occasion to get a few Christmas presents sorted already now!
